Manual Transmission Club

[Abunchahicks]

while i do not disagree, i am on week 9, i have seen numerous people whom have ordered after me already take delivery, i keep getting told various parts are the hold up but see loads of Rubicons rolling out. Just frustrating to no end. We are down to 1 vehicle and the one we have will not be good for a trip i have coming up middle of next month.

I took delivery of my manual transmission on the 12th week. I was in the same boat as you, thinking about canceling and buying an auto dealer pre-spec. I’m soooooooo glad I stuck it out. The pain and agony of waiting was gone as soon as I pushed the clutch and shifted to 1st. A manual is what this vehicle is supposed to have.

FCA chat this morning, still in "D", Saturday will be 45 days. Still not the longest by a far shot, but i'll tell you, when i see on FB guys getting autos in less than a month from ordering, its discouraging.

It’s so hard to say what the deal is. Another guy who ordered a Punk’n on 7-19 went into D1 yesterday.

Loads of sympathy for those that have been waiting. Hope trucks start rolling fast.

Josh/Up Venture, thank you for sticking around after taking delivery! I'm surprised Troutman hasn't come and asked for a test drive. Damn yoopers

E status (framing)--build started today.

Nick, I knew it! I'll tell you, if someone on here had a M/T Gladiator within 50-100 miles of me, i'd be all for a short road trip, visit, BS session.

I'm starting to feel like...

It isn't getting built because we don't have a transfer case, so build something else with these parts.

Ok we have the transfer case, but now we don't have a hard top, so build something else with these parts.

Ok we have the hard top, but now we don't have forward cams, so build something else with these parts.

I've seen absolutely everything I've ordered on a delivered vehicle. They had them all at one point or another.

Hahaha this group is like family

Was actually thinking about Troutman we were running around his hometown tonight.

Just under 9 weeks from order to delivery, I feel lucky.

That's awesome, the seats look great in that color.

Yea, this wait is ridiculous.

100% agree. Day 15 in JB for me.

Looks great. I seriously considered the tan seats, but ended up going with the black.

How do you like the manual?

Ok, where are you guys getting your status code updates? I've tried Jeep Chat (or whatever it's called) and they were no help, and I'm sick of asking my dealer. I'm going on 12 weeks from order date, and am supposedly in JB status but never told when it went to that status. In the meantime I'll just keep stretching that clutch leg...

And loving the tan seats, glad I went with them on my build!
